Free pattern: Vintage bean bag toys or appliques

March 25, 2015 by Anne Weaver

Adele Bee Ann Sewing Patterns shares a free vintage pattern at the Pattern Patter blog for making these felt bean bag toys. The vintage project sheet includes patterns to make all of these: mouse, girl, sunflower, bird, soldier, bunny, and fish. Fill them with beans or pellets to give them weight, or use lightweight stuffing and turn them into ornaments. You could also use these patterns to make fun appliques on t-shirts or blankets.

I love everything vintage! These patterns are really cool. I’d love to try them because the process seems to be very simple. The nutcracker and the rag doll would make perfect giveaways for girls and boys!

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
